For Stacy

She has been on my heart more than usual lately, and this morning, driving to work, the following song came on KLOVE. I wanted to share it with her (she checks our blog, too) and with those of you who are joining me in praying for her, Spencer, and Isaac.Whatever You're Doing -- Sanctus RealIt's time for healing, time to move onIt's time to fix what's been broken too longTime to make right what has been wrongIt's time to find my way to where I belongThere's a wave that's crashing over meAnd all I can do is surrenderWhatever You're doing inside of meIt feels like chaos but somehow there's peaceIt's hard to surrender to what I can't seebut I'm giving in to something HeavenlyTime for a milestoneTime to begin againReevaluate who I really amAm I doing everything to follow Your willOr just climbing aimlessly over these hillsSo show me what it is You want from meI give everything, I surrender...to...Whatever You're doing inside of meIt feels like chaos but somehow there's peaceIt's hard to surrender to what I can't seebut I'm giving in to something HeavenlyTime to face upClean this old houseTime to breathe in and let everything outThat I've wanted to say for so many yearsTime to release all my held back tearsWhatever You're doing inside of meIt feels like chaos but I believeYou're up to something bigger than meLarger than life, something HeavenlyWhatever You're doing inside of meIt feels like chaos but now I can seeThis IS something bigger than meLarger than life, something HeavenlySomething Heavenly...I know that right now, Stacy and Spencer are living through the chorus of this song, in that this all feels like chaos. But I know that they are also trusting that God is up to something bigger than all of us, and all too soon, with Isaac's arrival, we will all see what His intentions for Isaac's life are.And we will choose to praise.Stacy, we love you.

Monica...it's Jessica Rice (Flint) from PCC. I was in your prayer group my freshman year. I heard about Stacey's story and our whole church is praying for her...praying that God will work His way in their lives and then give them the strength for whatever His answer is. My husband and I know firsthand how trying to explain your choice to keep a child despite all your doctor's belief's that the child you have will never be "normal". We are praying for her and her husband. Her story is nothing but glorifying to God and has been a blessing already to those in our church even though we do not know her. Let her know we are all praying for them.
